My Mom and I came here for Thanksgiving day Mass. It was a very pleasant drive through Smithfield and Burrillville to get there and back, and I enjoyed seeing the village of Harrisville for the first time. Among other things, there's a beautiful pond directly across the street from the church. The Mass opened with the Battle Hymn of the Republic in honor of the holiday.
The church is fairly small on the inside. The sanctuary has tons of green in it, which I suppose is fitting for a church called St. Patrick's. It still has an old communion rail in front of the altar, and a pair of tabernacles on either side of the altar area. The church's pastor is very lively and animated, and he did a great job of greeting and making small talk with his parishioners as they were leaving the church.
